Waratah Fortress

We have chosen 2 unique hikes for this Spring Day - one from Leura the other Blackheath

Our 1st Hike , is no so much about the hiking but about the destination. This walk is primarily along a firetrail , however , this hike has been chosen to be done in spring, as you will encounter the largest number of waratahs in one hike, I counted over 400 waratah last year and that was at the end of the season .

But even better, once you get to the end - another WOW factor happens. Magnificent views of Hanging Rock and the Grose Wilderness. This is an easy 10km walk. We visit Baltzer Lookout first, then we head to Hanging Rock.

Following this hike we will head into Blackheath for Lunch

Hike 2 is Fortress Rock Lookout and Fortress Ridge approx. 10km. This is a stunning trail exploring the beauty of Fortress Ridge in the Blue Mountains National Park. At the end there are absolutely stunning views of Lockleys Pylon, and down the Grose Valley to Mount Bank and Docker Head.

So as you can see why this day hike is titled Waratah Fortress !!
